Bron Breakker is widely expected to arrive as a main event star at WrestleMania 42, but could Jacob Fatu as well.
The Samoan Werewolf returned to WWE last Friday on SmackDown and inadvertently helped Drew McIntyre win the WWE Undisputed championship from Cody Rhodes.
According to Dave Meltzer, Fatu was originally meant to fued with the pair before he got involved three months ago.
“Originally they were going to do a three-way program with these guys but that’s when Jacob was on the out list.
“I mean, I guess Drew was still going to be wrestling Cody at the end at Survivor Series they just moved it up and Drew was probably losing that match anyway.
“It didn’t materially change anything, but they were going to do a three-way program already and they’d even started that.”
Will this carry over to WrestleMania 42? The Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber will significantly shape the title challengers.
Bron Breakker and Roman Reigns have been mentioned as possible winners for the Rumble. Previously it was thought Reigns was heading for a third WrestleMania match with Rhodes, but that also now seems up in the air.
The last wrinkle to all of this is Rhodes himself – will he turn heel? Many fans are theorising that Rhodes will be revealed as the man who attacked Fatu and wrote him off TV for three months.
It’s possible that both Breakker and Fatu will feature in world title matches at WrestleMania and it would be a smart move for WWE’s future if that was the case.
